Man, part of why I wanted to make movies for a lot of my life is because I desperately wanted to be in conversations like that.

Within its overall genre, I truly believe it's possibly the best movie ever made. And yes, I'm aware that I'm saying that when you could argue that Tremors is in a genre that at least has some overlap.

OH SHIT. Dude, it is goddamn incredible. There are a million ways to praise it for it's creature design and props and whatever, but I legitimately think that everyone trying to make a sci-fi action movie today should be studying Aliens for how it does pacing, character development, and setup.

Oh, yeah, that's the unavoidable problem with these movies. But if you read about it, it's pretty complicated. It's obviously not excusable, especially by me, but he spent a ton of time in India studying, to do his best to avoid doing a racist stereotype, and has stated that he'd never do it today.

Honestly, yes. What do you need to know from the first? Johnny Five was a military robot who was struck by lightning and became sentient. No other important details, and they give you this info during the movie. It's so much better than first, without the antisemitic jokes.

Unironically, Short Circuit 2 is a powerful allegory about immigration and bigotry* that rings true in a pretty intense way that I wasn't prepared for when I sat down for a nostalgic rewatch of a childhood favorite.

No joke, Short Circuit 2 is the reason I originally felt that way. Punk Johnny Five, chasing down a villain for revenge to Holding Out For A Hero was a formative idea of what a kickass climactic action sequence is supposed to look like.
